Bookshelf, the books division of the NLM Literature Archive (LitArch), is an online collection of full-text books, reports, databases and other documents. Most Bookshelf contents have a corresponding entry in PubMed, either at the book or document level for monographs and reports, or also at the chapter level for authored contributions to edited reference books and resources. (See <a href="/books/n/helppubmed/pubmedhelp/?report=reader#pubmedhelp.Finding_Bookshelf_bo">PubMed Help</a> for details on how to find Bookshelf, or Book [book], records in PubMed searches). PubMed will not have citations for certain types of Bookshelf material that are not peer reviewed, such as Help Documentation, that are considered out of scope for PubMed.</p><p>Bookshelf and PubMed are also interlinked in a variety of ways. PubMed citations have links to Bookshelf documents which cite them (see <a href="/books/n/helppubmed/pubmedhelp/?report=reader#pubmedhelp.Finding_Bookshelf_bo">PubMed Help</a> on how to view these links). Similarly, journal citations appearing in the bibliography of a Bookshelf document include links to that citation’s PubMed record. You can also view PubMed citations related to a Bookshelf publication or its chapters via the “Similar articles in PubMed” panel on the right on book and chapter pages.</p></blockquote></div><div><h4 id="faq.can_i_add_my_bookshelf_citations_to">Can I add my Bookshelf citations to NCBI’s My Bibliography?</h4><blockquote><p>Most peer-reviewed Bookshelf records are also indexed in PubMed as authored books and/or chapters. As a result, these citations can be added to My Bibliography by their PMID. In instances where the activities that contributed to the publication were derived directly from an NIH award and are within the scope of the award being acknowledged, the award can be added manually by the NIH investigator in My Bibliography. For all Bookshelf records, the Public Access Compliance status message is automatically set as “Not applicable” because they are not peer-reviewed journal articles. This compliance status only applies to the NIH Public Access Policy. Authors with awards from other institutions should check with their funding agencies.</p></blockquote></div></div><div id="faq.Other_General_Questions"><h2 id="_faq_Other_General_Questions_">Other General Questions</h2><div><h4 id="faq.i_found_an_error_or_mistake_in_books">I found an error or mistake in Bookshelf; how do I get it fixed?</h4><blockquote><p>Please report errors directly to the publisher listed in the metadata on the book or document’s landing page.

We hope that the publishers will want to continue to collaborate with us and will ask that the next edition of their book be placed on Bookshelf. Each book is viewed as a new candidate for Bookshelf.
